We were quite disappointed that for an expensive , white table cloth dinner there is no dress code. The people next to us wore a baseball cap and sweatshirt- the manager said “there is no dress code” - at this time of year we are glad to have business”. We dine out frequently but will not be back.

The setting is impeccable. Very good service overall. I was rather let down when I asked what the cheeses on my cheese course were and was told they were from France. Despite further questioning I received no other answer. My daughter only had one of her trio of sorbet as the others were inedible. My duck was world class as was my other daughter’s filet mignon. The wine pairing was fair, but far from exemplary for the cost. I may be judging harshly comparing this to some world class establishments and Michelin star restaurants I’ve been too. However, they charged the same so I do expect more than what I received for the cost.

Our experience for anniversary was nothing short of exceptional! From the moment we walked through the doors everyone was so warm, and friendly. Our waitress was phenomenal! The food was to die for, and the drinks were top notch.
